2014 Map of Greenwood

About this map

Shades Mountain and Bluff Ridge dominate this section of the Alabama landscape, where the ridges of the Appalachian foothills meet expanding residential developments. The area is defined by its numerous named settlements, including Greenwood, Morgan, and Hopewell, which are interspersed with deep-rooted community markers like Sadlers Cem and McClendon Chapel. The presence of the Bessemer Airport and the winding Cahaba River to the southeast illustrate the mix of modern infrastructure and natural waterways. This 2014 survey captures a period of transition as the suburbs of Hoover and Bessemer push further into the valleys. Local historians can trace the proximity of older sites like Smithson and Raimund to newer recreational and residential features such as Guytons Lake and Lake Cyrus Boulevard.
